Fireproof

Thanksgiving was great. I have pictures, which are on my camera, which is at HOME. So, Thanksgiving post will be later.

I had promised the girls that we would go this week to see the movie Fireproof. Have you heard of it? I was told that this was a movie for couples.

Take your teens to see this movie. Mary Margaret was mesmerized. This movie shows the bad and good part of relationships, how to rectify relationships, parent/child relationship, friend relationship...how to handle this all in a Christian way.

Mary Margaret really needed to see this movie, with dating and driving coming soon. I pray that she uses her head and remembers what I've tried so hard to instill in her. Taylor seems to show no interest in boys yet.

Who did I take (I invited Tim he was working) Me, Mary Margaret, Taylor, Philip (nephew) and Mrs. Butler, my mother-in-law. The whole group agreed. Great movie. We had a great time. Mary Margaret asked me questions through out the movie and I loved whispering back and forth with her...no teen tension at all, no rolling eyes, rolling head. Whoop Whoop!

The girls spent Wednesday with their Taylor Grandparents and their mother, Kellie Ann was there this time. They haven't seen her since July. She wrote them both a note. To Taylor, she said that she loved her and hoped to she her more often. To Mary Margaret she said she loved her, hoped to see her more, can't wait to get a job so that Mary Margaret can move in with her, and hopes that Mary Margaret knows that it is not our fault (MM and Kellie Ann's) fault that she can't see them. Taylor talked to me about her letter. Mary Margaret hasn't.

I hate the knot that I have in my gut when they've seen her.

Such good advice taking the "kids" to Fireproof! Your reasoning is very good. Thanks!

Oh that's hard to be in that position.

I think I need to see this movie. They aren't playing it around here any more. Bummer! I heard it's coming out on DVD pretty soon.

I am so proud of you and the values you are instilling in your girls. Rest assured some of it will "stick."

Thank you so much for the prayer request for Erin!

We Love You!
